To uninstall
vCloud Air
plug-in 1.0.0, formerly known as the vCloud Hybrid Service plug-in, from the
vSphere Web Client, use the
vchsPluginInstall
installation script that you used to install the plug-in. The script also has
an uninstall option.

In some cases, uninstalling
the plug-in is necessary. For example, if you installed version 1.0.0 of the
plug-in in
vSphere Web Client 5.5, then you upgraded the
vSphere Web Client to 5.5 Update 1 or Update 2, the plug-in continues to
appear in the
vSphere Web Client. However, version 1.0.0 of the plug-in is incompatible
with
vSphere Web Client 5.5 Update 1 and later. Uninstall the 1.0.0 version, then
install the current version using the installer that is available on the Home
page of the
vSphere Web Client.

Note

You cannot uninstall
version 1.0.1 or later versions that are installed in
vSphere Web Client 5.5 Update 1 or Update 2.
